"Life as a... Nerdy Girl" got a makeover

Hey Nerds,
Welcome to the revamped "Life as a Nerdy Girl" blog.  The blog got a makeover, not me!


I finally made myself a proper banner and toned down the colors to something more soothing: blues and grays, with small hints of pink!  If you're viewing this on a mobile device, it should be easier to read now... but I think you should check out the desktop version as the layout is a lot more appealing.

Well, you can obviously see the banner above, but here it is again:


I didn't come up with the background design myself... let's just say I got creative with finding an existing banner on a banner design website. But it had a watermark and I manipulated it with screen shots and image editors.  Adding the badge with my avatar is my own design element...

I created the avatar using https://www.cartoonify.de/
I couldn't find an avatar "wig" for curly unruly hair, but I do where my hair in ponytails a lot, so that was my next best option. 


Let me know if you like the new subdued look.  I think it's a little more calming to the eye, and a little playful.  Please leave a comment below!
